DigiShares, one of the leading providers of security tokenization technology, is pleased to confirm its latest partnership with Empirica Finland Oy, a leading blockchain and AI solutions provider. With this new cooperation, we are making further inroads into the digital securities sector and will be better able to bring liquidity to future issuers of security tokens.

The DigiShares and Empirica partnership is focused on building the AI-based investor community platform, Binvestor, that will be a network for investors and companies seeking funding. DigiShares and Empirica will collaborate on building up the community and DigiShares will be the platform of choice for future STOs (Security Token Offerings) launched through Binvestor.

Blockchain technology experts and networkers

Empirica Finland Oy is a Finland-based provider of blockchain and AI solutions for several industries such as fintech. Empirica’s core is to find solutions for companies and industries and then create the technical platform to make those solutions work.

The Binvestor investor community is launched as a subsidiary of Empirica Finland Oy and is headed towards its own STO that will be conducted on the DigiShares platform in September/October 2019.

Binvestor is a network bringing together investors and companies seeking investments with disrupting features we’ve never seen before. The (B)investors that are approved to become members will own Binvestor Inc., make its decisions and share in its profit. Binvestor also aims to make the Private Equity market global, secure, fast and free of friction and middle-men by using the latest advances in blockchain and artificial intelligence by building solutions itself or partnering with leading players in the field such as DigiShares for conducting STOs.

Digital securities for the world

Through DigiShares, company securities can be digitized and issued as tokens on the blockchain. Each token represents a security such as shares, bonds or customized securities with profit-sharing, revenue-sharing or other rights.

Via DigiShares, verified and approved investors are able to purchase tokens – benefiting from immediate settlement, wider access to international investors and enhanced liquidity. Because of its programmable automation, transactions will have fewer vulnerabilities to errors. Investors signing up for DigiShares STOs will in the future also have the option of joining Binvestor and vice versa.

“The success of any capital raise today is contingent on the availability of liquidity, i.e., access to a large number of potentially interested investors. We are now taking steps, together with Empirica, to launch Binvestor to help increase the chances of a successful fund raise for DigiShares and Empirica clients”, said Claus Skaaning, CEO of DigiShares.

Skaaning added: “This partnership will provide a very attractive proposition to both traditional and crypto investors who are interested in the new world of blockchain-based capital raises, called STOs. Empirica is a very reputable and skilled provider of blockchain technology with a very wide network of investors in the Nordics and hence the perfect partner to launch this initiative”

“The potential benefits of digital securities are obvious. Decentralizing trust and reducing the need for financial middlemen are other very appealing aspects. With the industry for security tokenization growing very quickly now and becoming an increasingly viable option to raise capital, industry expertise must seek collaboration to provide end-to-end solutions”, and most of all make private equity market global like it never has been, said Aleksi Aaltonen, CEO of Binvestor Inc.

Aaltonen added, “We are looking forward to further collaboration with DigiShares on this initiative. We see them as a leader in this segment – they are among the first in Europe – and indeed the first in the Nordics – to provide a platform for startups, investment funds and real estate funds to issue shares as tokens and offer them for sale, fully regulated in their jurisdictions. Through Binvestor we hope to offer investors easier access to interesting investment cases that were previously only available to institutional investors.”
